Assault & Battery

Franklin Assault & Battery Attorney

Defense for Violent Crimes in Williamson County

Assault and battery are two crimes of a violent nature that are often charged
together. Assault is the act of making a threat to hurt or kill another
and having the ability to carry out that threat. The battery is the actual
physical act of causing harm to another person.

These crimes can be charged as either
misdemeanors or
felonies, depending on the circumstances. The amount of injury caused to the alleged
victim is one of the main factors considered when charges are filed. It
is vital that you speak with a Franklin criminal defense attorney from
Dana McLendon Law as quickly as possible after your arrest.
